US President Donald Trump on Monday returned to the Oval Office as the 47th president of the United States, starting his second word, where he signed breakthrough executive orders.
But, his return to the White House included a moment of levity and history.
While seated at the Resolute Desk, signing his second set of directions, President Trump was reminded of a long-standing political history by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy. The writer asked whether Joe Biden had left a notice for Trump, a custom observed by cheerful leaders as a gesture of goodwill to their descendants.
First caught off guard, Trump paused, opened the key box of the table, and pulled out an box marked with the amount” 47. ” With a hint of amazement, he exclaimed,” Oh,” admitting he might not have discovered the text for weeks if not for the reporter’s timely warning.
The humorous exchange recently shifted focus from plan to history as Trump teased the idea of reading the word aloud to the assembled writers. Unfortunately, he set the letter away, leaving its material a secret for now.
